Quantitative assessment of pericervical dentin in mandibular second primary molars through stress distribution analysis: A finite element study
A quantitative analysis of the 3 mm PCD zone (coronal and radicular aspect from the CEJ) emphasizes its critical role in strengthening teeth. Based on these findings, we recommend conservative cavity preparation in pediatric endodontics on preserving PCD to avoid structural weakening and improve long-term clinical outcomes.
